"Knock, knock, knock …"
After some time, someone knocked on the door and said loudly, "Lord Lin Yan, there will be a special mission in the afternoon. Please get up and get ready!"
Lin Muyu opened her eyes and looked out of the window. It was almost noon, so she got up and washed up in a hurry.
A few unaffiliated warriors had already prepared an armor and a warhorse for him. After becoming a You Yi Envoy, the standard seemed to have increased as well. He obtained a set of red armor, which was extremely heavy when he wore it. Although the craftsmanship was exquisite, Lin Muyu still missed the Gold Star Armor from the Sanctum. After all, it was embedded with Buoyancy Gems, and it was extremely light to wear.
After lunch, there was a sound of cannon in the village.
The Grand You Yi Envoy Ji Yang, You Yi Envoy Li Qianxun, and other important figures had appeared one by one. Almost all the rangers on the mountain had come out. There were more than 2000 people, and no one was left out. Their flags fluttered in the wind, covering the sky. It was a very shocking scene.
Riding to Ji Yang's side, Lin Muyu cupped her fists and said, "Lord, what … mission are we going to carry out? Why are there so many people?"
Ji Yang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Lord Lin Yan, you don't have to ask. You will know when the time comes. As long as we complete this mission, I promise that Lord Lin Yan will at least get a Captaincy!"
"Captaincy?"
Lin Muyu frowned and didn't continue to ask. There were less than ten thousand people in the House of Chivalry. How could she become a Captaincy?
…
The group went down the mountain. Instead of taking the official road, they took a detour through the Dragon Forest. Ji Yang and the others seemed to be very familiar with the mountain roads. After traveling in the mountain for the whole afternoon, Lin Muyu didn't know where they were.
However, he was vaguely uneasy. The two words that Ji Yang had said yesterday kept circling in his mind. Deer Song Garden and White Crane. What did they mean? Had the White Crane returned to the capital?
As for Deer Cry Garden, what kind of place was that?
At this time, it was almost nightfall. Lin Muyu rode his horse to the back of the formation, responsible for bringing up the rear. There were a few Silver Exalted Rangers following beside him, as if they were protecting him, but also as if they were monitoring him.
"Pa pa …"
In the night sky, a white figure descended rapidly, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings. Lin Muyu raised her head, and the white bird had already landed on her shoulder. It was Chu Yao's messenger bird, Little White.
Lin Muyu looked left and right. A few Silver Elder Rangers were chatting and did not seem to notice his movements. So he pulled down the letter tube on the leg of the messenger bird and took out a roll of paper. A line of Chu Yao's words was clearly written on it: "Where did Yu go? I haven't been in the Imperial Capital for a long time. Today, brother went with the Emperor to Deer Garden Palace to hunt. I miss you so much! When you see the letter, reply. "
It was Chu Yao!
Lin Muyu's heart warmed, but when her gaze fell on the words "Deer Garden Palace", her heart suddenly trembled. Deer Garden, was there a palace there? If that was the case … then Ji Yang's target was Deer Garden Palace!
To assassinate the Emperor!
In an instant, Lin Muyu's heart was chilled. She finally understood why Ji Yang was so wary, and what he meant by the White Crane. It must be that the White Crane would also participate in the assassination!
Not good, if Qu Chu was not by the Emperor's side, she was afraid that she would really be in danger.
More importantly, Qin Yin would also go to Deer Garden Palace to hunt with Qin Jin. Then even she would be in danger!
Even if Qin Lei, Feng Jixing, and the others accompanied her to protect her, they were in the light while the House of Chivalry was in the dark. If they were attacked, perhaps Qin Yin could rely on her own strength to protect herself, but it was hard to say for Qin Jin.
…
At the thought of this, Lin Muyu's heart was burning. She could not become an accomplice. She had to leave this place, but how could she leave? After thinking about it, she decided to go to the bathroom. This was a tried and tested trick.
"I'm going to pee for a while, I'll be right back." He suddenly turned his horse around and said.
A Silver Venerable Level Wanderer said, "Then shall I go with you, Messenger You?"
"No need, I can't pee with someone watching me."
"Then, alright, I'll wait here for Lord Messenger You."
"No need, just follow the team. There are spiritual beasts roaming around here, no one can save you if they eat you."
"Alright …"
He rode into the depths of the forest and immediately pulled out the Burning Prairie Sword. With the ostentatious sword light, he wrote a reply to Chu Yao. "Sister Chu Yao, the House of Chivalry will assassinate His Majesty tonight in Deer Garden. Please think of a way to inform Qin Lei and Feng Jixing immediately. Yu, stay. "
"Whoosh …"
Little White spread its wings and flew straight in the direction of Lanyan City, just in time to point out the direction for Lin Muyu. He immediately urged his horse to gallop in that direction.
The warhorse kept snorting. The continuous galloping for a few days had exhausted a lot of its physical strength, but it was urgent now, so Lin Muyu kept urging the horse to move forward.
Four hours later, the warhorse finally fell to the ground with a whine, foaming at the mouth and unable to run anymore.
Lin Muyu gritted his teeth and carried the Burning Prairie Sword to activate the Falling Star Steps. He galloped forward as if he was stepping on the stars. His speed was not much slower than the warhorse, but the consumption of his Battle Energy increased rapidly.
Half an hour later, the outline of Lanyan City appeared in front of him after climbing over a hill.
However, Lin Muyu did not have time to enter the imperial capital to ask for reinforcements. He went straight to the Eagle Nest Camp, where he still had 110 elite soldiers at his disposal. He could not care so much, he just had to send as many people as he could.
…
On the Eagle Nest Mountain, the lights flickered, and many soldiers were gathering and drinking in the camp. When Lin Muyu appeared in a chess envoy's armor, a group of royal guards raised their longbows and shouted in a low voice, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Eagle Nest Mountain?!"
Lin Muyu slowly lifted the cloak that covered his head, revealing a determined face, and said, "I am Lin Muyu of the royal guards, let me in."
"So it's Lord Lin Muyu, please wait a moment."
The gate slowly opened, and when Lin Muyu stepped into the camp, Wei Chou and a group of royal guards had already come forward to welcome him, and said with a smile, "Lord, you're finally back!"
Lin Muyu was anxious, and said, "Prepare a horse for me and a set of royal guards' armor for me. Wei Chou, gather our troops, and prepare to set off immediately!"
"Yes, Lord!"
Wei Chou was very loyal, and did not even ask any questions, and immediately went to carry out the task.
At this moment, the commander of the Eagle Nest Camp, Meng Fang, walked out of the central tent, and said in a low voice, "Lin Muyu, without orders from your superiors, you are not allowed to mobilize the troops of the Eagle Nest Camp!"
Lin Muyu's expression turned cold, and she said, "Right now, a large group of people are heading to Deer Nest Garden to assassinate the Emperor. If we set off now, we might still be able to make it in time."
Meng Fang was stunned, "What … what do you mean?"
Lin Muyu raised her fist, and said, "Those who are willing to come with me to rescue the Emperor, come with me!"
Among the group of centurions, only Xiahou Sang held a long sword, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin Muyu, I, Xiahou Sang, will go with you."
"Alright!"
After changing into the white robes of the royal guards, there seemed to be about 300 people gathered. Lin Muyu mounted the horse, and said in a low voice, "Wei Chou, lead the way to Deer Nest Garden!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The sound of hooves broke the silence of the night. More than 300 royal guards quickly descended the mountain, and headed straight for Deer Nest Garden in the north of the city.
…
Deer Nest Garden, a temporary imperial residence located at the edge of the Dragon Seeking Forest. It was also the usual hunting ground of the Emperor, Qin Jin. Today, he had once again arrived at Deer Nest Garden with Qin Yin, accompanied by more than ten officials. The main hall of the temporary imperial residence was brightly lit, and the emperor and his officials were drinking merrily, as though they would stay up all night long.
Outside the main hall, Feng Jixing was dressed in a white robe, and his brows were tightly furrowed. His hand was on the handle of his Windcutter, and he said to Luo Lie, "How's the defense going at night?"
Luo Lie cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Lord. We've brought 5,000 imperial guards, and 4,000 of them are stationed in the four directions of north, south, east, and west. There are 12 camps, and not even a bird will be able to fly in. Moreover, Commander Qin Lei is leading 50 Dragon Guards to protect His Majesty and Her Highness. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Mm, that's good."
Feng Jixing felt a little uneasy, and said, "I keep feeling that something is not right. Is Lord Qu Chu not back yet?"
Luo Lie smiled slightly, "The herbs at the bottom of the black mountain have completely mesmerized Lord Qu Chu. I feel that if we don't harvest all the herbs there, I'm afraid that Lord Qu Chu will not return. Moreover, Deer Nest Garden is so heavily guarded that it doesn't matter if Lord Qu Chu returns or not."
Feng Jixing muttered, "That's good too … Let our brothers keep their spirits up. We cannot slack off at all tonight."
"Yes, Lord!"
…
In the cold night of the Dragon Seeking Forest, a thunderous sound came from underground. With a "bang", a huge and ferocious snake head rushed out of the ground. The scales on the snake's head were like blades, spiraling like knives. This was a type of Earth Drilling Dragon Snake. There were 12 gold patterns and 3 silver patterns on its head. It was actually an Earth Drilling Dragon Snake with a lifespan of 12,300 years. A few scales on its head had already peeled off, revealing the golden scales underneath. This Dragon Snake was undergoing a dragon transformation. Perhaps in another few hundred years, it would transform into a real dragon.
At the neck of the Dragon Snake, an entire scale had flipped open, and a piece protruded out. It was an old expert who had pierced his feet into the flesh of the Dragon Snake. His hair and beard were all white, and his face had a hint of arrogance. He lightly tapped the neck of the Dragon Snake with his long staff and said, "Little treasure, continue passing through. Whether we can kill that incompetent and incapable ruler this time depends on you!"
"Hiss hiss …"
The Dragon Snake raised its head and let out a long hiss, with some anger and unwillingness.
Under the moonlight, the old man's long hair fluttered in the wind. It was the Pale Crane!
"Whoosh!"
The Dragon Snake raised its head and once again burrowed into the ground. The scales around its skull spun like blades, turning the rocks and soil underground into dust. The Pale Crane lowered its head. It was as if its entire body was attached to the scales on the Dragon Snake's body, and it was not affected by the rocks. It held its breath and followed the Dragon Snake underground.
…
At night, the white robes of the White Robe Imperial Forest fluttered in the wind. Qin Lei held a gourd in his hand. He opened it and drank a mouthful of wine. After warming his body, he said, "Strengthen the defenses!"
Beside him, Chu Huaiying held his long sword and suddenly pricked up his ears in alarm. He said, "Commander, did you hear something?"
"What sound?" Qin Lei was stunned.
"It seems like … a sound coming from underground …" Chu Huaiying's gaze turned cold. He confirmed the source of the sound and said, "It is indeed coming from underground. Something is coming, be careful!"
